"For coffee-loving types we start at Kaffeeklatsch, at 12513 Lake City Way, where beans from local roastery Seattle Coffee Works are brewed in a cute coffeeshop/bakery that fills the neighborhood with irresistible smells. Alongside a cappuccino I grab German pastries like blechkuchen (a fruit-studded sheet cake), zitronenmohnkuchen (glazed lemon–poppyseed coffee cake), or a käselaugenstange (a pretzel roll topped with Gruyere), and I always browse the shelves for duck eggs, local honey, bespoke kombucha, and other goods from local producers." - Meg van Huygen
